KEY MESSAGES
Issued at 1152 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025
-Low chance (10-20%) of some sub 40 degree high temperatures for portions of the Panhandles by the second half of the coming weekend.
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Tuesday night) Issued at 1152 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025
Dry conditions expected to continue through the short term forecast period. Latest water vapor satellite imagery shows established mid level dry air moving SE into the southern High Plains in the domain of large scale subsidence in the region, which should further establish our mostly clear skies continuing. With a sfc trough developing lee of the Rockies tomorrow within this established synoptic regime, temperatures will moderate tomorrow to values well above average. High temperatures will range from the mid 60s to lower 70s, where average highs for early December should be in the lower 50s.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1152 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025
A series of fronts will bring temperatures a bit on a roller coaster throughout the long term forecast period. Temperatures behind the first front will drop back to near average on Wednesday, with a quick warm up well above average on Thursday. A second cold front will then enter the Panhandles towards the end of the work week bringing temps back to near average and continue through the weekend. Depending on which 08/12Z global model data set to analyze, another shot of some very cold air may move south into the central CONUS. Latest probs skirt the Panhandles with a 10-30% chance for high temps at or below 40 degrees and less than 10% chance for high temps at or below 32 degrees, with current highest chances in the eastern Panhandles. Could cause some impacts for prolonged outdoor activities in the cold, we will watch trends closely. Dry conditions expected to continue throughout the long term forecast period.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 504 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025
VFR conditions expected through at least the next 24 hours. Winds will be variable through much of the night before turning roughly westerly at 5-10 kts.
